After winning the Premier League championship trophy at the Amazon Stadium, Leeds United began the process of winning the championship.
The day after winning the championship, the team began a city-wide championship parade.
This time attracted more Leeds and Yorkshire fans to gather, and the number reached a record high.
Countless fans gathered near Elland Road to celebrate Leeds United's successful defense of the team's title. The scene was extremely grand.
The championship parade lasted from late afternoon to evening.
That night, Leeds United held a vigorous championship celebration at Amazon Stadium and Elland Road.
The entire event site was packed with people and packed with people.
After a vigorous championship parade and celebration, Leeds United quickly occupied all major media pages around the world and was on the hot searches of various social media. The limelight was unparalleled for a while.
But at the same time, the team is also actively preparing for the Champions League final.
Although the Premier League ended on May 12, the Champions League final was on June 1, leaving more than half a month in between.
Therefore, after the team won the championship, Pochettino announced a holiday and gave the team a day off so that all players could have a good rest and spend time with their families.
According to Leeds United's itinerary and plan, after the break, the team will train at the AXA Center for a week and then take another day off.
Finally, the team will head north to Dublin for closed training.
The reason why we have to go out for closed training is mainly to avoid the distractions from the outside world, so that the team can focus on training and preparations, and also to practice the team's tactics more focused.
After all, the venue for the final is Leeds United's Amazon Stadium. As the final approaches, countless fans and media reporters will definitely gather, which will definitely cause trouble for the team's training and preparations.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to simply run outside and concentrate on preparing for the game, while also allowing the team to completely relax.
In contrast, Manchester City does not have such a long preparation time.
A week after they finish playing in the Premier League, they will play another FA Cup final.
However, this also has certain benefits for Manchester City's state of maintenance.
Both sides have their own pros and cons.
Manchester City will stay in Manchester to prepare for the game, because the distance between Manchester and Leeds is very close. Manchester City does not even plan to come to Leeds in advance, but decided to come on the day of the game.
Both sides are making arrangements that are most beneficial to themselves around this world-famous Champions League final.
…
As the Premier League and other leagues come to an end one after another, the European transfer market has quietly opened.
The first breaking news came from Barcelona.
Atletico Madrid's number one star Griezmann was the first to announce that he will leave Atletico Madrid this summer, and the team he wants to go to is Barcelona.
According to Catalan media reports, Barcelona will pay 130 million euros in liquidated damages for Griezmann on July 1, the day the transfer market opens, and bring the Atletico Madrid star to Nocan.
general.
This transfer undoubtedly shocked the entire European football world.
In addition, Barcelona is also eyeing Ajax's young midfielder Frenkie de Jong.
Dutch media revealed that Barcelona is negotiating with Ajax about the transfer of Frenkie de Jong. There is still a certain gap between the two parties in terms of transfer fee. Barcelona hopes to sign the Dutch midfielder for 75 million euros, but Ajax
The quoted price is 85 million euros.
In addition, Barcelona is also interested in Leeds United's young central defender De Ligt. This central defender is currently valued at 100 million euros on the German transfer market website.
It is worth mentioning that after a season, ESPN stars made a ranking list of players under the age of 21.
In this list, among the top ten players, 8 players are worth more than 100 million. This is a very astonishing number, but it also reflects the current rising transfer fees for European football players.
In ESPN's list, Mbappe is far ahead with a worth of 250 million euros, which is one step more than Haaland, who is ranked second. The Norwegian center is worth 150 million euros.
The third player in the ranking is still from Leeds United. It is the Brazilian genius Vinicius. His worth is estimated to be as high as 140 million euros. ESPN believes that if Mbappe really transfers to Real Madrid, then Leeds United will not need to pay for it at all.
The left winger candidate is worried because Vinicius will be the ideal successor.
ESPN also specifically mentioned that Leeds United only paid about 10 million euros in transfer and training fees for this Brazilian genius, but now, a few years later, his worth has increased 14 times, which is astonishing.
After including the top three, several other Leeds United players were also selected into the top ten, namely Sancho, De Ligt, Alexander-Arnold and Rashford. These players are basically worth about 100 million euros, among which the least
Even Arnold's salary reached 95 million euros.
But as ESPN said, it is impossible to take Arnold from Leeds United at this price.
The Liverpool Echo previously revealed that the Red Army is ambitious in the new season and is trying to pack two full-backs, Alexander-Arnold and Robertson. Liverpool hopes to take away the two best-performing full-backs in the Premier League for 170 million euros, but they were rejected by Leeds United.
.
Another star of hope who ranks in the top ten is Havertz, a young player from Bundesliga Leverkusen. His worth has also reached an astonishing 100 million euros.
This player scored 17 goals in the Bundesliga that just ended, and his performance was very eye-catching.
The number of goals scored is equal to Havertz's. Serbian center Luka Jovic, who plays for Frankfurt, is currently worth 80 million euros. Some media previously reported that he was linked to Real Madrid, but Gao Shen has denied it through AS.
rumor.
Judging from the current situation in the entire European football world, both the player's worth and annual salary are obviously rising.
Even young players like Havertz and Luka Jovic are worth as much as 80 million euros, or even 100 million, which is indeed quite outrageous.
But behind the soaring value of players, the club's income has also increased significantly.
For example, this season's Premier League.
After Leeds United won the championship, their income was as high as 150 million pounds, while second place was Liverpool with 149 million pounds, and league runner-up Manchester City received 148 million pounds.
Not only that, Huddersfield, the deputy captain who ranks bottom in the Premier League, will receive a bonus share of 93.6 million pounds.
Brighton, which successfully avoided relegation, received 102 million pounds, and Southampton also received 101 million pounds.
This also makes every Premier League team rich and wealthy.
For example, Aston Villa, which returned to the Premier League after two years, announced that it would invest a huge sum of 200 million pounds in the transfer market to take the first shot at avoiding relegation in the new season.
That’s £200 million!
Of course, the outside world is not optimistic about this slogan, because the consortium from China is now in deep business crisis and is simply unable to support Aston Villa's crazy investment.
As early as 2018, Chinese capital sold part of its shares due to financial problems. According to the agreement, if Aston Villa succeeds in reaching the Premier League, the Chinese capital must invest another 30 million pounds, otherwise it will lose all its shares.
But at present, Chinese capital is no longer able to pay this amount.
In other words, Aston Villa has changed hands.
Gao Shen and Su Qing both regretted this, but there was nothing they could do.
In fact, over the years, many Chinese investors have played football in European football, and the final results have been disastrous.
Southampton, for example, was almost relegated this season.
The team that played the best was Wolves. They had Mendes on their back and had enough connections to hire professionals to run the club.
As for the rest, they are basically being played.
…
While other teams have begun their summer transfer operations, Leeds United is training behind closed doors, refusing all outside interference.
Gao Shen started to be busy on the long side.
He first went south to Spain to study the transformation of Real Madrid's Valdebebas with Zidane and his team. At the same time, he was also forming a team in Madrid, Spain, and began to formulate Real Madrid's team plan for the new season.
After dealing with matters in Madrid, Gao Shen went north to Paris and attended the groundbreaking ceremony of Paris Saint-Germain's new training base.
Gao Shen's team has been involved in the design of this training base. Gao Shen personally served as a consultant and provided his own professional opinions on the use of many facilities and space in the training base.
Not only that, Gao Shen and his team also began to transform Paris' first-team training facilities, including introducing various equipment, recruiting various talents, and promulgating strict rules and regulations, among which Gao Shen paid the most attention to various experts.
For example, Gao Shen hired sports performance expert Gian Nicola Bisciotti from Inter Milan.
This 60-year-old expert has been working at Inter Milan since 1999. He started as a physical fitness coach and became a sports performance expert in 2016. During this period, he had a lot of experience with Buenaventura and Pintus in the advanced team.
connect.
This time Gao Shen hopes that he will come to Paris and be fully responsible for the competitive performance of the first team players.
The nutrition expert is Juan Jose Morillas. He is only 38 years old. He was born as a professional player, but he did not achieve much in football. After retiring in 2014, he switched to nutrition. In 2016, he entered Leeds United as an intern and became a full-time player.
Serve as deputy and work till now.
Now, he will be solely responsible for the dietary habits of Paris Saint-Germain players.
His first instruction after arriving in Paris was to cancel all sodas, cokes, ice tea and other drinks in the restaurant. He also required all players to have breakfast and lunch together, and strictly controlled the players' eating habits and meal recipes.
The last one was the medical director, who was responsible for important tasks. Gao Shen poached Lyon's medical director Christopher Baudot through connections. This person had known him for some time and was familiar with the Ligue 1 league and French teams.
Baudo started working in Marseille in 2007 and switched jobs to Lyon in 2016, where he has been until now.
Gao Shen believes that the arrival of Baldo, Bisciotti and Morillas can greatly improve the current situation of Paris Saint-Germain, especially the various shortcomings of this team, and provide better logistics for the first-team players and coaching staff
Guarantee services.
In addition, Gao Shen has also begun to transform Paris' youth training system, especially the connection between the youth team and the first team.
Because he discovered that in the past few years, outstanding young players such as Nkunku and Koeman have not been able to play for Paris. Among them, Nkunku would have left the team if he had not arrived.
Gao Shen believes that the gap between the first team and the youth team needs to be broken, and about 10 young players should be promoted every year to train with the first team.
But this requires a mature operating process, such as player selection, evaluation and guidance, etc.
Once established, it will become a daily operation in Paris.
Gao Shen believes that this can help more young players stand out in the Paris first team.
