Chapter 20: Stealing people means robbing the future! Time has entered November, and there are only two months left before the winter transfer period. Simon Grayson's secret operation in the transfer market has been discovered, because Harvey was photographed by reporters ! As the soul of the Spanish team in the past, and one of the most recognized midfielders in the world, Xavi being photographed is nothing. It¡¯s just that this time, the reporter took Xavi¡¯s photo in Riogo do Sul, Brazil. Porto Alegre, Land. Even a fool knows that the Brazilian Gremio Football Club is the one that can attract Xavi's attention in this place. After all, the cooperative relationship between the two clubs exists there! ?Obviously, Harvey must represent Leeds United to overcome Marcio's difficulty again! In the summer, Simon Grayson wanted to buy Marcio, but Gremio's price was too high at that time. The asking price of 7 million pounds at that time was also a lot of money for Leeds United. Funding is different nowadays. The "Young Guards" transfer account has 100 million pounds. In addition, although Koslov has potential, his irritable habits make him lack stability. Simon? Grayson simply asked Harvey to go to Gremio again with his checkbook. This time, things went smoothly beyond expectations. Gremio even took the initiative to reduce the price by 500,000 pounds. Xavi also signed the contract without saying a word, as long as Marcio passed the physical examination during the winter transfer. , he is now a member of the Leeds United team. Gremio really has no choice. First of all, they are short of money, very short of money! ??Training players and sending them to Europe to play in Europe in exchange for large sums of money has always been the survival rule of South American teams. This basically won't change over time. Furthermore, Marcio is already 23 years old. He is already the top central defender in Brazil. If he still wants to improve, he must go to the top European leagues to practice, and he also wants to take advantage of it. When I was young, I could go to Europe to pan for gold. At his age, it can be said that the time is ripe. In addition, the "Young Guards" is a quasi-rich team in Europe anyway, and "Cruel Simon" is the head coach. Marcio has a very special personality. With a strong desire to transfer, he has been constantly fighting with the club in the past few months, and even went on a training strike, and finally won himself a chance. In addition to Xavi who went to Brazil, Simon Grayson sent Andreoli to Roma, Italy. His target was Roma's 19-year-old left winger Carlo Crassanti. This young player has very fast speed and dribbling ability, even sharper than the teenager Lens. Now the "Young Guards" only has one Lens who can handle it on the left. Simon Grayson doesn't want to spend a lot of money to buy someone, so he naturally turns his attention to those young people. Andreoli himself is Italian and has played for Roma before. In this country that values ??human relations, he can communicate better than Lerottaglie or Di Vaio. In addition to Marcio and Carlo, Simon Grayson also personally asked Van der Wiel, his former disciple from Ajax, to return. He made a call to the Dutch youngster Hojdonk of Dundee United in Scotland and expressed his hope that he could move to Leeds United. Twenty-year-old Hoydonk is also from Ajax. Big brother Van der Wiel's experience made him very envious, but after he became a professional player and played for Ajax for two seasons, he impatiently moved to Scotland last season for more game opportunities. Young man Naturally, I want to use the Scottish League as a springboard. Last season, the 19-year-old Hoydonk played 36 games for Dundee United, scoring 6 goals and 12 assists, showing amazing potential. This season, he has scored 5 goals and assisted 3 times in 15 games, and has become an important offensive piece for Dundee United. However, the smart Dutch genius was careful when he transferred to a local team. There was a minimum termination clause for foreign clubs in the contract, and the amount was only 4.5 million pounds! ??4.5 million pounds is really nothing for Leeds United. It doesn¡¯t even matter to many clubs. It is rumored that Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City, Newcastle, Everton and other teams are also paying attention to Hoydonk, but in the end who will make the first move and who can succeed? The key still depends on the player's personal wishes. At this time, Simon Grayson asked Vandeveer to play a family card. Coupled with the appeal of "Cruel Simon" to young players, the effect must be amazing! Simon Grayson, through Vandeveer, directly gave Hoydonk the bench to play as soon as he arrived. In the future, if he is strong enough and performs well, it will not be a problem to play the main force. Nowadays, "young people are"Army" only has one attacker on the right, Murray, and the remaining young boys are simply useless. However, the 20-year-old Hoydonk has already accumulated some experience in the Scottish Premier League and will play as a substitute as soon as he comes. It¡¯s not an exaggeration to say that Hoydonk was overjoyed after receiving the call from Van der Wiel. Like countless young players, he was not immune to the call from ¡°Cruel Simon¡± even as early as ten years ago. Dreaming that one day he would also be spotted by the famous Simon Grayson, which would mean that he would have the opportunity to become a superstar. Through Vandeveer, Hoydonk contacted Simon Grayson, and the young man talked on the phone. He made it clear that he was willing to leave Dundee United to join the "Young Guards", and he also very smartly expressed his loyalty to Simon Grayson, saying that he would never have a conflict over whether to play as the main player or as a substitute. Completely obey the coach's arrangements. Regardless of whether Hoydonk's words are true or not, at least Simon Grayson felt comfortable after hearing this. Besides, why did this little guy forcefully switch jobs from Ajax to Dundee United? Isn¡¯t it just for the main position? Now that Hoydonk has played, he has attracted the attention of many wealthy teams in England. Who would believe him if he doesn¡¯t care about the main substitute? After a lot of money was spent and a preliminary agreement on a personal contract was reached, Leeds United officially issued an offer to Dundee United. "Cruel Simon" was really ruthless and directly spent 4.5 million pounds on it, no more, no less, just enough to activate Regarding the liquidated damages clause in Hoydonk's contract, Leeds United and Dundee United did not deliberately keep confidential the transfer of Hoydonk. As a result, as soon as the news came out, Arsenal and Chelsea were immediately involved. , Manchester United, and Manchester City all spent 4.5 million pounds to grab people. Mourinho publicly said: "We have been observing Hoydonk for some time. Originally we wanted to wait for him to mature. They were just introduced. After all, for talented players, it is a crime to let them play as substitutes in the team, but now we have to do something. ¡± Manchester United coach Vermaelen and Chelsea coach Scot Ramport have also stated that they value Hoydonk¡¯s football talent and hope to introduce him to their team. Unfortunately, this is obviously impossible. Van der Wiel's connection, coupled with Hoydonk's own trust in Simon Grayson, who is good at cultivating and using young players, he and Leeds United quickly completed the signing on the date when Leeds United was about to travel to Manchester. The day before the match against the "Red Devils", on the same day, Leeds United received two more good news. Marcio and Leeds United negotiated a contract, and he will be able to join Leeds United in the winter transfer window on January 1. In addition, Andreoli also received news from Italy that Roma agreed to Carlo's transfer. Although Leeds United needs to pay a transfer fee of 5 million pounds for Carlo, Simon Grayson believes that the money will eventually be paid. It can still be earned back. Look at Marcio, Hoydonk, Carlo, plus Chen Jinlong, Du Xiaoguang, Berakta, Koslov, Diaz and others, Simon Grayson¡¯s current transfer. The strategy has changed a lot compared to the past. This is obviously because he does not want Shaq's money to be wasted. When selecting players, the first thing to consider is the player's cost performance and potential. In the past, Simon Grayson did not treat transfers. With this attitude, he will definitely spend money on the players he likes, but now he will subconsciously consider whether Shaq will lose money. When Simon Grayson leads the team to Manchester, "Red Devils" coach Vermaelen has already held a press conference before the start of the game, but he paid great attention to Leeds United: "Simon is a great coach. It goes without saying. This means that we will have no chance to pass tactics." We can only rely on our strength to defeat this powerful competitor Well, the most dangerous person is of course Shaq. No one can ignore the greatest player in the world. We will fight against him. Tightly defended. ¡± Vermaelen, who played for the Gunners as a player, has now become the head of the Red Devils. He has even led the team for two seasons. This season is already his third year coaching Manchester United. In the past two seasons, Vermaelen's coaching results have been quite good. He led Manchester United to a championship and a fourth place, and has always qualified for the Champions League. Although the Champions League record is a bit worse, it is best. He only made it to the quarter-finals, which is much worse than his predecessor Mourinho's performance. But Vermaelen's advantage is that he keeps a low profile. He never takes the initiative to stir up trouble, and will only pursue the game steadily. Victory. What satisfies the Glazer family the most is that Vermaelen is not a luxurious person. He also spends money in the transfer market, but he only buys some teams.The powerful stars we need will never spend as much money as Simon Grayson, Forlan, Giggs, Mourinho and others. After almost three seasons of coaching, the transfer fee was only 70 million pounds. Investment, this is nothing to the "Red Devils". Vermaelen, who has good results in leading the team and knows how to be diligent and thrifty, is really in line with the interests of the Glazer family. As long as such a head coach can lead the team to achieve decent results and make the fans accept it, they will never Will fire him. (To be continued)
