Chapter 419 A Phone Call and Two Faxes

Senderos, this 190cm tall man was like a giant moving white wall. After knocking on the door, he politely lowered his head and entered the box.

Behind him was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather tie. This middle-aged man with gray hair had shining eyes and a shrewd air about him. It looked like he was probably his agent!

Li Tongfan straightened up his expression in an instant, and then started his second act of abduction on this night in Milan with dignity.

However, compared with his previous treatment of Shevchenko, Lao Li's attitude towards Senderos was not so enthusiastic!

The conversation was mainly between Lee Tong-bum and Senderos' agent Shakman.

Shakman, who has turned fifty in recent years, is indeed a very shrewd man, and it seems that Senderos trusts him.

The advantage is that the more savvy a person is, the easier it is to discern the situation and to speak more easily.

This conversation was much smoother than with Shevchenko, and the two sides almost hit it off.

It turns out that Senderos's difficult situation in Milan has made this shrewd agent already planning the return of the Swiss central defender to the Premier League. Therefore, Li Tongfan's invitation is simply a long-awaited opportunity for Senderos. Sweet rain...

"I am very optimistic about Felipe, but the premise is that he must join Newcastle during this winter break. If you can convince AC Milan to release him in January, then I will make an offer to Arsenal soon..."

This was the condition Li Tongfan offered to Senderos and his agent.

Shakman pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked very confident: "Don't worry, crazy Mr. Li, I will take care of this matter, but I hope you can keep your promise today!"

"That's natural!"

…

In the dark night, Lao Li got on the return flight.

It took Li Tongfan four hours in total from appearing in Milan to finally getting on the plane back to England.

Among them, 120 minutes were spent abducting Shevchenko and Senderos, and the other 120 minutes were spent on the way to and from the airport!

In Milan, the world-famous fashion capital, Li Tongfan didn't have the slightest nostalgia. His only consumption was a cup of black mocha coffee for 29 euros!

And this, this is what Tolosi Don admires about Crazy Lee.

To outsiders, this Chinese man has already achieved success and fame. It seems that anything he needs to do is just open his mouth and stretch his hands. But it is hard to imagine that even though Madman Li has reached today's heights, he has been living a good life. A life of extreme self-discipline...

As many media said, he seems to be a person born for football!

In the past two years, he has devoted one year and three hundred and sixty days to his career. It seems that except football, nothing can attract his attention!

Tolosi Tang, who has been following Crazy Li, understands Li Tongfan better than anyone else and admires Li Tongfan more than anyone else!

However, Tolosi Tang will never know that the reason why the sultry man he admires is so diligent, so self-disciplined, and so hands-on is just because he is afraid of death...

Li Tongfan burst into tears. He just wanted to survive under the insidious FM system, that's all!

…

December 31st.

After Christmas, the Premier League has a short break of about a week.

At this time, every team in the five major leagues has invested most of their energy in the upcoming winter transfer market!

On the one hand, they must guard against thieves to prevent their core players from being poached. On the other hand, they must re-examine their team lineups, check for leaks and fill vacancies, and poach other people's core players to prepare for the more cruel attacks to come. Half a season to prepare!

Li Tongfan received two faxes and a phone call in the last 14 hours before January 1!

The call was from Shevchenko.

"Lee, I am willing to join Newcastle, and I am also willing to accept a salary cut in terms of annual salary... I just hope that you can let me play as hard as I did when I was young, even if it is only for half a season!!"

This is the answer to Ukrainian nuclear warheads.

Next, everything is easy to handle. After getting Shevchenko himself, this transfer will be easy for Newcastle to operate.

AC Milan is coveting the 'half-blood prince', while Chelsea and Newcastle have maintained a good cooperative relationship in the past two seasons, and Li Tongfan and Abramovich also have a good personal relationship...

However, the two faxes outside the phone call made Li Tongfan fall into deep thought!

The first fax came from Chelsea. The Blues wanted to buy [Eastern European Ronaldinho] Yuri Zhirkov for 18 million pounds!

The second fax came from Arsenal. Professor Arsene Wenger wanted to buy [Czar] Andrei Arshavin for 12 million pounds!

It seems that the previous media reports are not groundless!

As for Chelsea, since the team's main left back Ashley Cole was injured and absent for more than a month, it is inevitable for Chelsea to buy a right back!

Due to Zhirkov's amazing performance in Newcastle's league match against Chelsea in the first half of the season, not only did he impress the Blues owner Abramovich, who likes to collect domestic stars, but also the current interim coach of the Blues, the Dutch Hiddink. Zhirkov, the proud pupil of the Russian national team, is even more highly praised. Chelsea’s offer of [Eastern European Ronaldinho] is reasonable!

On the contrary, Arsenal's move to acquire Arshavin really surprised Lao Li!

Professor Wenger’s recruitment strategy has always been to only look at young players, and in recent years there have been very few signings worth more than 10 million pounds. Why did he suddenly become interested in Arshavin, a 27-year-old ‘veteran’?

Thinking about Arshavin's outstanding performance in the 'peak battle' between Newcastle and Arsenal not long ago, coupled with the media reports of Walcott and Bendtner's injury time, Lao Li slowly got some ideas...

In fact, what Li Tongfan didn't know was that Wenger had been paying attention to Arshavin for a long time.

Last season, when the [Czar] led Zenit St. Petersburg to defeat Bayern and other powerful players to win the UEFA Cup championship, Arsenal's scouts paid close attention to Arshavin. It's just that the professor didn't expect Crazy Li to make such a quick move at the time. Before Arsenal could make an offer, he was taken to St. James...

However, Li Tongfan didn't need to understand the reason.

He is now thinking carefully to see if these two offers can bring any benefits to Newcastle!

Zhirkov's current position at Newcastle is not very stable. Due to the self-recommendation of Gareth Bale at the end of the summer transfer period, Lao Li's original plan was broken. Now the Magpies have three left backs. Players…

Such a configuration is definitely a shameful luxury for a team like Newcastle that does not have strong financial resources. Moreover, if the starting arrangement is not handled well, it can easily cause conflicts among the players...

Li Tongfan thought clearly about the key and came to the conclusion almost immediately——

Zhirkov can be sold!

Among the three left backs, Zhirkov is the oldest. Compared with Marcelo and Bale, his [potential ability] is also the lowest. Since Chelsea is interested, they can negotiate the price!

Moreover, the transfer of [Eastern European Ronaldinho] can also bring a large amount of income to the team, which is a large amount of income for the financially strapped Magpies!

Suddenly, an interesting idea jumped into Lao Li's mind.

Since I want to introduce Shevchenko, but Chelsea is interested in Zhirkov, why not simply exchange players?

Of course, according to the current price comparison between the two, Chelsea must add some cash in addition to Shevchenko, which is only fair!

This is it, that’s it.

So what next, what about Arshavin?

Unlike [Eastern European Ronaldinho] Zhirkov, Arshavin's status and role in Newcastle is much more important than the former, because apart from [Czar], the only players who can play on the wing are Juan Mata and Lu Kas Podolski for two!

In addition, although Marcelo can occasionally play as a wing midfielder, after half a season of experimentation, Li Tongfan's positioning of the Brazilian finally returned to the wing. He hopes that the Brazilian can play with Gareth - Together with Bell, he will guard the left wing for St. James...

It seems that Arshavin will stay in Newcastle for at least half a season!

…

On January 1, 2009, a new year begins.

The European football transfer market opened on time. Originally, people thought that after experiencing the madness in the summer of 2008, the winter transfer period would be a little calmer, but it turns out that from the first day in 2009, it became extremely crazy!

The Red Army Liverpool has launched the first shot of the Premier League winter transfer!

However, this first place may be a nightmare that will never go away for coach Benitez, because six months ago he introduced Anfield’s Irish striker Robbie Keane in a high-profile manner, but he was eventually replaced by Anfield. He ruthlessly returned the goods himself...

From 20.3 million to 10 million, it took the Irish only 6 months to net 10 million pounds for White Hart Lane...

Through this deal, Benitez made Liverpool and himself the biggest joke in the Premier League transfer market in the 2008-09 season, bar none!

Immediately afterwards, exciting transfer news came one after another——

"The Red Devils introduce Serbian twin stars Tosic and Rakic ​​for 16 million"

"Chelsea loaned Serie A's biggest parallel import Quaresma"

"Chelsea winger Bridge transfers to Manchester City for £9 million"

"Bad boy Pennant bids farewell to Anfield and joins Portsmouth"

"Arsenal Offers Magpie Tsar Andrei Arshavin"

"Portsmouth midfielder Lars Diarra joins Real Madrid for €19.15 million"

"Bellamy joins Manchester City for 14 million euros"

Among all the news, Las Diarra's joining Real Madrid surprised the media the most. No one thought that this player who could not play the main role at Chelsea and Arsenal would only join Portsmouth for half a year. He won the favor of Galaxy Battleship in just one season...

At this time, a reporter dug up an old account from six months ago. People discovered that Crazy Li had also been attracted to the Frenchman six months ago, but he gave up because Wenger refused to sell him to rival Newcastle...

"...Crazy Li's ability to discover and identify young players has once again been verified by facts!"

Times editor David Samiha expressed emotion in his column.

Of course, much of the media's focus is on Newcastle.

People want to know what kind of surprises Crazy Li, who discovered David Thornton and Pastore in the transfer market in the summer of 2008, will bring a large number of supernovas this winter! ——

Second update.

Xiaodao worked hard to code the third update. If there is no update at eleven o'clock, then brothers, don't wait. There will definitely be a third update tomorrow.

In addition, when the editor was approaching 1.5 million words, the third alliance leader finally appeared. Boss, you are so awesome! (This is kidding). What Xiaodao really wants to say is: Thank you!

Thank you to every brother and sister who has been silently subscribing and giving rewards!

Finally, after being threatened by two extremely vicious guys, I kindly recommend three books:

First, "Pride Never Dies" is a basketball competition, the old author has a new vest, the writing style is lascivious, and it is very funny.

Second, "Super Pawn Machine", an urban book, a new book by the author of "Rebirth of the Dream Shooter".

Third, Super BOSS Fei’s new book "Air Dominance" is a data-based basketball competition.
